If you're going to the effort of going to Kahn's, go to the one in Carmel.  I was not all that impressed with downtown, I think they catered too much to the downtown swill-guzzling crowd.  I mean they had some unique stuff but not in the order of what I saw the once in Carmel.

I figured I'd hit the one in Carmel first and then the one on Keystone if I didn't find anything that looked good in Carmel.

Keystone has better beer selection.

I am counting on this.

This is kind of cool. I was searching for craft beers that come in a can and found this website.

I am officially excited.

Me too.  Until I found the tap in my kegerator was non-functional.  On the plus side I had an excuse not to run tonight, it is now functional, and I know how exactly how a tap works inside.  However now I have to wait until tomorrow for everything to settle back down to where I can sample some.

Keystone has better beer selection. Carmel has better wine and liquor.

Keystone probably had a bigger beer selection. I thought Carmel may have had a slightly better selection. MrFinn, you may want to hit both locations if you have time. They're not that far from each other. There is also a 21st Amendment in between, although it didn't have as good a selection as either Kahn's.

I picked up a couple of different beers in cans to test. I'll also be traveling to New Orleans before the beer mile, so I'll see what they have available there also. I was excited to find out they have Abita Amber in a can, unfortunately it's only 4.5%.

What I have so far:

Brooklyn Brewery Lager

Brooklyn Brewery Summer Ale

Breckenridge Brewery Avalanche Ale - I've had this before and seem to remember liking it

Southern Star Bombshell Blonde

Funny how beermile.com sets the Kingston Rules, then a lot of their "official" times are set with too-low ABV beers...Abita Amber is on there several times, IIRC.

 

I think you will find the BB Summer Ale goes down more smoothly than the Lager.  I tried both.

Beermile.com has Abita Amber listed as 7% which is just plain wrong. I'd love to be able to use it, but I know it's less than 5%.

The only thing that concerns me about the BB Summer Ale is that some summer ales can be higher in carbonation. I figure all the extra beer won't go to waste. Somebody will drink it. 

I'll bring a few of them Wednesday.
